IMPROVEMENT lN WlNDOW-SASHES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 205,101, dated June 18, 1878 application filed April. 19, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH L. JOYCE, of New Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement in Window-Sashes; and I do hereby declare the following; when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in--- Figure 1, a front view; Fig. 2, a sectional view, enlarged; and Fig. 3, a section of the fasteningbead detached.

This invention relates to an improvement in the method of securing glass in sashes, with special reference to land-carriages, but applicable to other places, the objectbeing to completely pack the glass, so as to prevent its rattling, and also to make it perfectly tight without the possibility of admission of dust or alter; and it consists in the construction, as hereinafter described, and more particularly recited in the claims.

A represents the sash; B, the glass. The sash rabbeted to receive the glass in the usual manner as for putty. Around the rabhet, and distant from the shoulder the thickness f the glass, or a little more, a thin groove is made. Into this groove the fastening-head is set. This head is made otsheet metal ofsubstantinlly the form as seen in Fig. 3--that is, so as to form a plain flange, a, and a head, 12, forming. a groove on the opposite side. This material is out to the required lengths, and the flange it introduced into the grooves in the sash after the glass has been placed. Before doingthis, however, a. cord or strip of india-rnhher or other suitable flexible or claslic packing, d, is placed in the groove formed by the head, as seen in Fig. 2. This lies and is pressed upon the glass, so as to hold and press it hard against the shoulder on the opposite side when the head is in its. place. These beads may be secured in the sash by pins set into the sash through the flange; but the better method is to cut the three sides 0, f, and h of the full length required, mitered at the angles. In that case f and it serve to hold a in its place, as does 6 to hold that end of f and h. On the side opposite a the head is cut diagonally, being; first mitered to tit the ends fand h, and then the part I set in place secures that end of h,- and, finally, the last piece m is introduced, which secures that end off, and also nolds lin place. Then, by si nply passing t pin into the sash through the flange m, as'at n, all are secured, and cannot be removed until the single pin'n is taken out.

I do not broadly claim a securing device for glass in sashes in which india-rubher is used as a packing. Neither do I broadly claim athin metallic molding inclosing a packing of rubber against the glass, as such, I am aware, is not new; but

What I do claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The grooved metallic head b, constructed with a flange, a, the sash rahbeted to receive the glass, a groove in the said rahhet parallel with the surface of the glass to receive the said flan go and support. the head, and the elastic packing" (Z within the said head, and between it andthe glass, substantially as described.

2. In asash inclosingglass, the flanged beads on the several sides, each part, save the last, out as described, to secure the others, and the last secured directly to the sash, as a means for locking the whole, substantially as described.
